Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet
- 1 Parchment Paper for non-stick and easy cleanup
- 1 Small Spatula or Spoon for spreading Nutella
- 1 Small Sieve or Sifter for dusting powdered sugar
- 1 Wire Cooling Rack for even cooling after baking
Ingredients
Main
- 1 can 8 Crescent Rolls
- 8 tablespoons Nutella
- 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the crescent roll package, typically around 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Carefully unroll the can of crescent dough and separate the individual triangles.
- On the wider end of each crescent triangle, spread approximately one tablespoon of room-temperature Nutella evenly.
- Starting from the wide end, gently roll each crescent triangle towards the pointed end, forming the classic crescent shape.
- Place the rolled crescent rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them to allow for even baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Before serving, lightly dust the warm Nutella crescent rolls with powdered sugar using a small sieve.
- Serve warm and enjoy these delightful pastries.
Notes
1. Ensure the Nutella is at room temperature; this makes it much easier to spread evenly without tearing the delicate crescent dough. Cold Nutella can be stiff and problematic.
2. When unrolling the crescent dough, be gentle to avoid stretching it too much. Also, when rolling the crescents after adding Nutella, start from the wide end and roll tightly but not so much that you squeeze out the filling.
3. Keep a close eye on the rolls while baking, as crescent dough can go from perfectly golden to over-browned very quickly. Every oven varies, so adjust baking time as needed.
4. For an added textural contrast, consider sprinkling a pinch of coarse sea salt over the Nutella before rolling, or adding a thin slice of banana or a few mini marshmallows.
